“Scoring 400 tomorrow is easier said than done. But we’ll be taking the day in small chunks. We’re in a precarious position and we have it all to do.”

Michael Burgess, who scored 146 for Sussex, said: “I feel really chuffed about my innings and to get my first hundred out of the way. It was nice to survive last night and then go out there and have a bit of a hit today.

“We needed a bit of luck today and we got it. Chris Jordan took the pressure right off me. He played a few shots and appeared to be playing on a different wicket.”
